SO I have been trying to drill the hole in my keg to put in my valve.
I went out and purchased a step bit because I heard it was slightly easier.
so it was time to go and I have my 18v dewalt cordless drill some mineral oil to use as cutting oil, and a whole bunch of bits for my pilot hole..
well after an hour of getting nothing more than a dent, and about 5 drill bits shattered, i decided i would just try the step bit by it self.. after about half an hour of that i had a little dimple and decided i must be doing something wrong so i stopped.
so I researched, and bought 2 Cobalt Steel bits to use.. well the first one seemed to work, i actually saw some sort of metal bits accumulating but that stopped quicker than it had started. after about 10 mins an a tiny little dimple inside the larger dimple it shattered on me..
everyone says mid to firm pressure, sooo.. but it broke..
so i have 1 more, slightly bigger cobalt bit im trying to make the pilot hole with but its just not working..
I checked a lot of threads and no one seems to be having the same problem I am having... am i really just missing something here, or is my keg made of super stainless. (its a newer miller lite keg with the locking safety clip on the inside of the keg, this one)
